   We should be clear about the reason behind investing in debt fund. I am sure you are aware, just to reiterate – If we are trying to achieve a short term goal , want to generate moderate return with minimum risk and better tax friendliness than bank deposits – then debt fund are great tool to invest.

   Now asking “what is the right time to invest in debt fund” – if you want to time the market for investing in debt funds then I would say any time is good depending on your time horizon/risk appetite. Now a fall in rates (which is likely to happen soon) will be good for debt fund (especially those with long-term bonds). So if you want to think like that way then this interest rate falling expected to give handsome returns in debt mutual funds. It gave high double-digit returns in similar occasions in past. But interest rates always move in cycles, either up or down, it’s part of every time horizon.
